Nice details, Dan.

I like it, Dan. For the Aristo covered hoppers, there never was any hatch diversity.

Dan, how do you like the 3D Fuel Pro filament?

#5

how can I get my hands on these parts?

It needs to be extruded at 215° on my printer whereas most PLA brands I print at 205°. So far I can’t see much difference as far as print quality between it and my favorite Hatchbox standard PLA. I might say the Pro PLA bridges a bit better. As far as durability, The Pro PLA parts seem a little stronger as they bend more before breaking. I have not tried annealing yet but I understand the process causes about 2% shrinkage on the X and Y axes so the print needs to be scaled to compensate.

I’m printing another test right now to see if it fixes an odd issue I’m having printing a flared radiator shroud.
